"I will walk b**t naked down the 101 for one exit" - Shaquille O'Neal bets Rich Eisen that Dallas Cowboys will win Super Bowl in 2023
Shaquille O'Neal is a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. O'Neal has so much faith in the Cowboys that he made a ridiculous bet with Rich Eisen. In an interview on "The Rich Eisen Show," O'Neal proclaimed that his favorite NFL team would win their first Super Bowl title since 1996. He stated that he'll run naked on U.S. Highway 101 in California if the Cowboys falter.
"Rich, the Cowboys will win the Super Bow this year, or I will walk b**t naked down the 101 for one exit," O'Neal said.
It's not the first time O'Neal has bet on the Cowboys. Last season, he lost a bet to Anthony "Spice" Adams when Dallas failed to beat the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round.
As a result of losing the bet, the LA Lakers legend had to wear a wig and sing an original song on "The Big Podcast with Shaq." When the punishment was doled out, O'Neal couldn't help but be disappointed in the Cowboys.
"Damn Cowboys. See what I got to do Cowboys cause you didn't win?" he said. "I just thought this was our year."
O'Neal spent his teenage years in San Antonio, Texas. At the time, the Cowboys were the only team in the state, as the Houston Texans were only founded in 2002.
Shaquille O'Neal wanted Deion Sanders to be next Dallas Cowboys coach
The Dallas Cowboys faltered at home against the San Francisco 49ers in last season's Wild Card game. The Cowboys lost 23-17 after quarterback Dak Prescott was unable to spike the ball on the final play of the game, resulting in the clock expiring.
After the disappointing end to their season, there were rumors that coach Mike McCarthy would be dismissed. The Cowboys finished 12-5 in McCarthy's second season.
In a January episode of "The Big Podcast with Shaq," O'Neal advocated for Deion Sanders to be the next coach of the Cowboys.
"I'm putting this out right now," the four-time NBA champion said. "Deion Sanders is the next head coach for the Cowboys. Jerry Jones, this message is from Shaquille O'Neal Incorporated. Deion Sanders for the next coach of Cowboys."
He continued:
"You want to get Dallas back rocking? Bring Deion to the fold. Deion will hold those players accountable. Deion Sanders for the next Cowboys coach. Put it out; tweet it; damn it. TikTok it; Instagram it; OnlyFans it; put it out."
Jerry Jones and the Cowboys eventually decided to retain McCarthy. As for Deion Sanders, he remains the coach of Jackson State and recently had a nice recruitment class for this season.
